The Dark Knight New Joker Picture Message (6/25)

[ND Irish]

um you guys are still working on the puzzle???

 

[Ama Zing]

this is how: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/CJWilkie/genius.jpg
label each identical symbol with a letter, and that leads to a grid of letters which can then be decoded. http://batman.wikibruce.com/Be_Amazed

Christ, kudos to those to pieced that together. I look at the puzzle and my brain just shuts down.

 

[teufelsdrochk]

yeah these look like they'll assemble into words has any1 tried alphabatizing from the cryptkey?

<working on it now>

Folks we are working on a TWO STAGE cypher:

Joker cells began receiving texts on June 25th saying one of:

To find the next sideshow, share these with your fellow goons. Then be amazed.​

To find the next sideshow, share these with your fellow goons. There's no substitution for fun.​

So stage one: substitution cypher (done). Stage 2: De-maze.

42e has played a similar trick in Vanishing Point. The substitution cipher:

decrypted as
THIS TRICKSTER SHARES HIS NAME WITH THAT OF A SILVER BANDED HOLY RELIC.
That yields the answer "Blackstone", who was both a magician and is a holy relic of the Islamic faith.

moving the decrypted symbols into the order for blackstone gave stage TWO:

and THAT was the final answer.

We need to put the cypher symbols in alphabetical order (first) then see if the image they form leads us anywhere new.

 

[Ama Zing]

^Wow, that's depth. But is it possible with our cypher- the shapes are pretty haphazard.

ppl have been able to make letters, they just didnt know why.

I'd suggest first decrypting then alphabatizing. Note, though, that the cypher images may need to be rotated...

Are you flippin kidding me? C'mon...

 

[KSD]

Oh my god, I'm tired and I didn't do anything viral-related today. You guys think a lot. I'm in awe of you.

 

[gmanca]

I looked at it quickly with redballoons and I'm not sure I see anything; one distinction from the past cypher you indicated is that the words were the same length. But it makes sense that 42e would go do that same well.

 

[MrStench]

Hey guys, I've come back in here and I see there's TWO stages to the puzzle?!? Wow. Anyone care to give me a QUICK summary of what's next, or what we have to do now? I'm half asleep sorry.

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

Go to the wiki and catch up....

 

[dolleface]

Wow, guys, awesome work! Do you think this has anything to do with the opera-related clues we got earlier maybe? Could it be another password to Pasquale's, since STAGE is 5 letters?

 

[mmxvi]

ok we are done here...NEXT!

 

[LatinKnight]

Go to the wiki and catch up....

GO CHECK THE WIKI...REAL SMART...I'VE BEEN ON THIS SINCE HAHAHAHA.COM WENT UP...

I JUST DIDN'T SEE THOSE OTHER THAN THE GREEN AND PURPLE BOXES...SMARTASS....

LOL. I feel like when you take a nap in the middle of the day, then you wake up later in the evening like "WTF happened? Why is everybody buzzin, what did I miss?!!! What day is it?!?! "

Well then, your explanation is in the post that you quoted. If you'd read it, it says that those boxes are from a different game that 42e did before. The idea is that maybe this is a similar game, and we aren't done with the green and purple boxes just yet.

 

[MrStench]

I guess I'll stick around for a while longer... something interesting might pop up in the next few minutes when this thing gets crakked.

what I'm saying is--

the image itself, correctly ordered, may spell out a new link.

From:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
To:
C O L R - M E I P S D J U T H N F W G A V
Anyone who bothered to print and cut out all the images--try putting them back into their correct (decrypted) order. So the image labeled 'A' here should really be 'C' and so on. In the correct order the cryptsymbols themselves may spell out something.

Hey it may be wrong but its sure not boring.

I agree - there has to be a maze component. Otherwise, why were the images sent with TWO messages?

How YOU doin'? t:

How YOU doin'? t:

Wondering if I should bother with all this Photoshopping. I'm still eating dinner.

 

[teufelsdrochk]

yeah try decrypting to 'redballoons'. But the pics may need to be rotated or put into columns, eg

redba
lloons

I think just alphabetic may do the trick. <searching for scissors>
